Sutak sparked a 13-2 run that gave Santa Clara a 58-56 lead with 6:54
remaining to play. The senior guard scored seven points during the run,
including a key 3-pointer.

Four lead changes later, Thomas put the Lady Bulldogs ahead for good with a
short jumper with 4:15 remaining to play.

The game remained in doubt into the final minute of play. Sherrill Baker,
who finished with 11 points, made a key steal and basket to help secure the
victory.

Toni Markey's baseline jumper brought the Broncos to 40-35 two minutes into
the second half.

Santa Clara, without two of its regulars and using its third different
starting lineup in as many games, managed to remain within striking distance as
the Lady Bulldogs went cold from the field. After making 13 of its first 24
shots, Georgia made eight of its next 24.

Braxton's inside jumper gave Georgia its biggest lead of the first half at
30-13, and highlighted a 14-3 Lady Bulldogs run.

Santa Clara responded with its own run, closing to 32-24 with 3:39 left in
the half on a short jumper from Markey.
